All the emotions belong to the body: how emotion can mobilize or paralyze Bashny.Net

It is well known that emotion can mobilize or paralyze the body. It's safe to say that any neurotic or psychotic has lost at least part of the human ability to Express full range of emotions inherent in a healthy child. Neurosis in this case is equivalent to the system of muscle clamps or blocks that prevent the free current of feelings and sensations in the body.

I would like to clarify that in this work the word "emotion" is used in a literal sense, the emotion, i.e., "movement out." In this sense, emotion is a universal manifestation of all life forms. Even single-celled animals react to the stimulus of expansion or contraction of the protoplasm.

Eighty two million four hundred one thousand eight hundred fifty six

 

In higher organisms the processes of expansion and contraction are controlled the two branches of the autonomic nervous system:

• sympathetic,
• parasympathetic.

 

Her impulses are transmitted to all the organs and muscles of the body, regulate energy metabolism, blood circulation and heart function, digestion, breathing, sexual function and orgasm.

• In norm these processes are rhythmical, and are experienced by healthy people as a pleasant feeling in the body.
• Patients suffering from neuroses and psychoses, disrupted the rhythm and free flow of these processes.

 

In a threatening situation, the animal develops the state of stress when the nervous system mobilizes the body to overcome stress. There are two possible reactions — fight or escape. Getting rid of the stress, the pet is back to normal, rhythmic state, i.e. stress disorder was temporary and sharp.

Many people seem to constantly reside in a situation of stress. The state of muscular tension and promote increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system to become chronic. Normal, inherent in the body's processes of self-regulation, has ceased to operate, and need help or stimulation from the outside. It is only by overcoming muscle clamps and restoring freedom of movement, you can return to these people the ability to rationally and adequately interact with the environment.

More than anything else, these people need to relax, but that's what they can't do. If a person, for many years zakuporivavshih their anger, ask them to relax, nothing will happen. He was forced to create a rigid container for his anger. If the child is in a situation of hopeless stress cannot be relieve tension through crying, he continues to keep himself in this strain, as if the stressful situation continues. If he can cry, make stress much easier.

Only after the body is released its locked pulses, it regains the joy of life rhythmically and is able and happy to function.

I would now like to elaborate on the description of some of the muscular blocks and the changes that occur in their resorption.

Pay attention to body stiffness, occurred once in a stressful situation in order to restrict movement, breathing and feelings, because it was the only affordable alternative to the active action. The body consists of these clips into separate segments, just as tightly compressing the ring breaks the smooth movement of the snake into two inconsistent halves.

Reich describes the segments of the body from head to toe.

Ninety five million twelve thousand forty two

Let's start with the upper part of the face. The therapist is primarily interested in the expression of the eyes. The patient can see the therapist with a learned gravity, avoiding disturbing look down or frown anxiously. A schizoid characteristic vacant look, as if he was looking somewhere into the space. Reich called this look "otherworldly". The different expressions of the eyes, how these people see the world; they also concluded the experience of early relations with parents, brothers and sisters.

Patterns of stress in the body can be considered frozen the story of human life, and especially this truth emerges in the face.

For autistic children in the eyes enormous stress and immobility to treat them is extremely important eye contact.

All neurotics suffer in varying degrees with tension in the eyes that goes on the forehead and muscles of the scalp, and then accumulates in the neck. The suppression of crying, fear and anger can cause terrible tension in the scalp and muscles of the skull base, which creates the physiological basis of severe headaches, so characteristic of certain personality types.

To mobilize this zone it is necessary to widely open the eyes and intensify the movement of muscles of the scalp. Space for work remains the same in terms of awareness by the patient of how his eyes react (or not react) to therapist. Before recover a healthy vision and full contact with reality, you need to release the emotions in this area: panic desire to escape, hidden suspicions, the murderous rage expressed by gaze and locked eyes with tears.

 

Each part of the body in a natural way related to the previous one, and the division is very conditional. The tension in the upper part of the face corresponds to the functional terminals around the mouth and jaws.

• Patients on his lips froze in a smile, or mouth curved sadly.
• Have compulsive personalities stiff upper lip.

 

Compressed jaws, weak chins and sunken cheeks show how people learned to use facial muscles.

A healthy child or healthy adult can Express the whole range of relevant emotions using facial expressions. It is a flexible and accepting person. One who is constantly in tension, has only a limited set of facial expressions that was required in the past to cope with stress. As such, he cannot easily change these expressions; his facial expressions change radically only when I can find the emotion hidden behind a tension of the facial muscles.

Since the first blocks in the way of expressing emotions typically arise in infancy, the session manifest infantile emotions. This zone can release repressed impulses to bite, suck, scream and grimace, each of which carries a powerful affective charge, that the patient often remembers traumatic experiences in early childhood.

But it is absolutely not necessary for healing.Mandatory is just the release of emotions from its blocking voltage. The person in this case gets the opportunity to properly relax for the first time for many years. Man is able to see the world without the crippling restrictions of the past.

 

The neck is one of the two main contractions of the body, the second is the waist.

The neck is a kind of a conductive tube connecting the head with the rest of the body. Voltage in this area is particularly frequent. Regardless of the Reich, they described Feldenkrais and Alexander. The function of these stress — deprived mind feelings of connectedness with the body.

Many people identifitseerida head and as if cut off from his own body. Some schizophrenics, on the contrary, suffering from the unbearable pressure in the head, totally identifitseerida with the body and consider my mind even want to remove it and replace with new.

In the area of the throat clamped loud sobs, cries and screams. In our culture it is believed that children should not get too noisy. But what else can make the child in an intolerable situation of stress? He can learn to swallow anger and suffocating sadness.

Years later, in the course of therapy, these unexpressed and repressed emotions can manifest themselves in all their original force, as a result of stimulation of the muscles of the throat and neck.

During the release of the emotions changing the color of the skin, patients feel a "clarification" in the head, the unity of head and body. Their movements become coordinated and graceful that it seems self-evident that lucky, which is initially free from stress.

Anger retained in the neck associated with tension in the muscles of the shoulders and a big back. It's amazing how much rage is contained in the spin of some people. Of course, this dead fury, making his back and shoulders stiff and rigid, and his hands numb from lack of circulation. The only way to restore the mobility of this zone is to give the opportunity to respond to this anger in a safe situation through the powerful movements of the arms, shoulders and fists. In a specially equipped room to ensure a safe output pulses with beats, who were involved in would all back. Of course in this case there must be good communication between the therapist and the client. Oddly enough, it is available to give vent to long-standing rage at the same time to realize the real situation without destroying the room and not touching the therapist.

After cervical narrowing down to a segment of the trunk. It contains the key indicator for this type of therapy. Breath — the basis of life and expressing emotions in any form, it is basic in our approach and accompanies voltages in certain areas.

Healthy torso gently undulating throbbing in the process of respiration, the thorax and the abdomen is movable in full. However, the control of breath is the first thing a child learns, trying to suppress their feelings. Such control is necessary to control the bodily processes goals mind, to avoid conflict: in some families, it is dangerous to openly Express their feelings.

All neurotics in varying degrees, suffer from respiratory problems. Exist two extreme variant:

1) high chest and the abdomen drawn in typical military posture, which was criticized Mathias Alexander in the work of coordination and poses;

2) the total deficiency of breath, when the light passes at least through the air. Schizoid, especially some of the hysteria, you begin to experience dizziness as soon as their breathing deepens. To take a more full breath for such people is comparable to the acclimatization — need to do it gradually, they learned to withstand an increased level of vitality.

Twenty four million five hundred sixty six thousand eight hundred fifty nine



At the end of the trunk there is another narrowing - waist. It is connected with a voltage lower abdomen, lower back and pelvic floor muscles, which locks the pelvis in a compressed condition vtyanuta the majority of neurotics. The immobility of the pelvis naturally leads to sexual disorders, but it is impossible to reduce them only to this region.

Normal sexuality involves the full manifestation of personality. Reich described the disorders of orgasm has been misunderstood by those who believed that it offers a sexual panacea for all ills. Nothing could be further from the truth. The ability to surrender completely to some kind of an emotion is one and indivisible, whether it is work, response to music, or painting, engage in a close relationship with another person or some important life experiences. Tension in any part of the body makes the experience incomplete.

 

The pelvis into the legs of the main support body. Tension in the feet leads to poor contact with the ground. Emotional expression here is a desire to kick — both aggressive and happy. Lowen and Kelemen stressed the importance of restoring the free flow of sensations in the legs, to have a sense of "grounding".

Many literally do not feel myself in the air, some schizoid, it seems that they are floating. Weakness in the joints are characteristic of schizoid personality. Tense rigid legs can give strong support in the absence of flexibility, "jumping" legs, indicating that the loss of joy of life. Watch dancing for joy with child and you will understand what I mean.

If you overcome the basic tension in the body with help of special exercises and massage, the patient a completely new way of experiencing your body, otherwise evaluates themselves and the world.

In terms of bioenergy to feel good means to be free to function smoothly, without chronic muscle clips. It Reich revealed the subtle relationship of bodily protections contained in the emotional life energy and found ways to change the balance of forces in the direction of health. This is both a physical and mental health.

In conclusion, I would like to quote the words of D. H. Lawrence:

"Body life — the life of sensations and emotions. Body feels true hunger, true thirst, real joy in the sun or snow, real pleasure from the smell of roses, or look at a lilac Bush; true anger, true grief, true tenderness, real warmth, real passion, true hate, true grief. All the emotions belong to the body, the mind only recognizes.»published
